ACT : Yes we can break stereotypes

Stereotypes exist! And it is natural that they exist. But they
are far too often used to degrade, humiliate or discriminate
against others. People tend to generalize stereotypes and use
them as an excuse to put themselves in a better position.

We don’t want to accept this anymore! We know that all humans are
equal! We all have the same rights, share the same dreams and
feelings.

Therefore we want to create an international youth movement in
order to break stereotypes. We don’t want to be a generation that
carries on the stereotypes of the past. We don’t want prejudices
to rule over our lives and our relations with people coming from
other countries, having a different cultural background or
religious beliefs.

We want to make our own experiences. We want a world of equality,
tolerance, peace and intercultural friendship. That is why we all
have to ACT together!

ACT: LET’S UNITE AGAINST STEREOTYPES!

Within this movement, we will realize a project designed to
reduce stereotypes between Western Europe, North Africa and West
Africa. And what makes our movement special is that it is not
only focusing on existing prejudices about Africa but also about
Western countries and within different African regions.

Through an active exchange and intercultural dialogue on
stereotypes between students of different nationalities, we want
young people to learn from each other, to be curious and open in
order to show that stereotypes cannot be generalized and that we
are all different but the same! We want to change stereotypical
mindsets and perceptions.

We can only reach these goals by mobilizing as many young people
as possible that engage in this fight against stereotypes.
Together we are stronger to break discriminating prejudices.

Take part in the creation of this new young generation! And
spread the message !
